[Watch] "Super excited for what’s coming up!" - Yuvraj Singh hints at return to cricket with intense nets session
Former legendary Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has hinted about a possible return to cricketing action.
The 40-year-old recently posted a video on Instagram in which he was seen taking part in a nets session at a stadium. In the video, Singh also spoke about how nervous he was as this was his first session in a while.
He looked really excited and played some outstanding strokes. The stylish southpaw smashed the ball to all parts of the ground and his nostalgic backlift and bat-swing is bound to take fans down the memory lane.
Yuvraj Singh's caption for the video also seemed to indicate that he is set to be part of something interesting:
"Didn’t do too bad, did I? 🤪 Super excited for what’s coming up!"
